r THE SHORT(?) COTTON CROP.
Ever since the cotton crop ef the
present year began to open, and
even many weeks before, it was
freely predicted that tue yield
would be several million bales
short. At the beginning of the
season hoth the price offered and
1 he crop estimates seemed to corroborate
this belief It was
some consolation then to think
that the pitifully short crop in
this State would be counteracted
partly at least by the price ii
would brint:.
As the weeks went by, however,
Ihe predicted and expected rise
did not materialize. Then the
reports grew less optimistic. As
usual, Tex a* came to the front
with a normal crop. Meantime
the conditions in this State?and
11.. itr.iu v. ..
?speciany in ?r uui,ty?have
*1 easily grown worse in
direct propoition to the decrease
in price."
Whiieitis no doubt true that
t
the exceptionally mild fall has
had something to do with the
greatly increased crop estimate,
vet it is equally evident that the
A *
figures, first gweu out were wide |
of the murk. It happens this way J
nearly every year and never fails
tocause sorue ot our people to
hold their cotton and sell at a loss.
I
It is remarkable that cotton is
seldom sold on a rising market.
A short time tonce the cotton
crop of 1901-2 was estimated at
10.500,000 bales, which is nearly
a million more than .last year's
yield. It is said that Neill, ti?e
old enemy of the cotton grower,
is preparing a still bigger estimate.
If these estimates be any ways
nearly correct there is little hope
of a material .improvement in:
price. The tendency has been |
steadily downward for the past:
month, with spasmodic interruptions
only to cause illusive hopes
to arise. The following slat is
tics taken from the market report
speak for themselves:
Total receipts at all port9 since September
1, 2,280,910 bales.
Same time last year, 2,323,757 bales.
Same time the year before, 2,157,568
bales.
Receipts for the pa*t four days 183,301
bales.
Same time last week, 915,176 bale*.
Same time last year 157,437 bales.
Tiu s * figures seem to indicate
aix)utthe same crop as wasV?S|
las I year i a cnti-iderabi^Bfil
crease over the year before.
ever this mav be there is nod?'U?
that in our own county the crop is
distressingly short. That, however,
is ail the worse for u?, since it
does not affect the general result.
THE TUESDAY ELECTIONS.
Of iHa elections which came off 1
Tuesday in several States the
most significant is the election of
Seth Low, the fusion candidate for
mayor of Greater New York,
against Edward M. Shepard, of
*?MfcJyn, the democratic nominee. |
hmr itaigflid from the presidency
of Colombia TJnrversity to valor ,
the race aod was the candidate
ot all the advocates of reform, irrespective
of partr, arrayed
against Tammany Hall.
The victory of the fusionists was
complete, carrying their ticket by
OA AAA ..~A An AAA
ueiween ov,ww nun iv/,wv
plurality.
In Ohio,the republicans elected
their candidate for Governor by
50,000 majority. The legislature
also is republican.
A good deal of interest was
centred on Philadelphia's municipal
election, where almost the
same conditions exist as in New
York, except that the machine is
republican instead of democratic.
In this citv as well as in the whole
State of Pennsylvania, the republicans
were completely successful.
Massachusetts went republican'
by about 70,000 majority. The j
republicans also carried Nebraska.
New Hampshire, Iowa, New .Jersey
and Rhode Island. Democratic
victories are reported in
Maryland. Virginia, Mississppi,
Kentucky and Colorado. *
The ingratitude ot nations isi
forcibly illustrated in the case of
Admiral Schley. Having achieved
a victory that made uall the
world wonder," he is hauled up
before a tribunal and trea'ed very
much as if lie were a common
malefactor instead of the hero of a
great battle. There are alwavs to
be found those who will disparage
a great achievement. After j
Christopher Columbus had returned
from his immortal voyage
and presented Spain with a new
continent these same detractors:
were found ready to discredit and i
disparage his marvelous deed. It
will be remembered how Columbus
once took occasion to silence
one of these critics by asking him !
to make an egg stand on its end. ;
In many respects the case of
Schley is striking' suggestive of
(hat. ef Columbus. Men wi3e in
their own conceit are found in i
both instances to under-rnte the
services of better men than thornselves.
It is t?> be hoped, however:
that the parallel with Columbus j
will not be carried beyond the
court of iuquirv, and that in it?
finding the court will give honor
where it is due, that ii to Admiral
Schley.
